i have like irregular white spots on tongue my gp said can be vitamin deficiency. i am not sure. please help?

Answer 1

your doctor is probably right but it could also be zinc deficiency among other vitamins .so start taking a good multi vitamin and a high dose b complex vitamin solgar is very good multi vitamin high in b vits and all other vitamins you will need.
also check your teeth they may also be causing problems

Answer 2

Most likely thrush which is easily treated with an anti-fungal oral gel, available over the counter in pharmacies.
My brother has geographic tongue, it's more like large patches of white and the rest of the tongue is the normal red colour, it's usually not small spots.
If the GP says it's a vitamin deficiency then did he/she tell you what vitamin you were deficient in? If they did then maybe you should take a supplement.
Often vitamin B deficiencies cause mouth ulcers and little ulcers on the roof of the mouth or inside cheeks.
Some antibacterial mouthwashes can also help in this, eg Corsodyl, Betadine.

Answer 3

It may be "geographic tongue", irregular greyish-white patches that look like continents on a globe. I think the cause is unknown and it is not serious.

Have another doc look at it if it persists or if it is painful and spreading. An educated guess over the internet is not the same as having a competent doctor examine the lesion.

Answer 4

im not sure exactly because i would of to see them first but it could be just a ulcers on the tongue , garlic and other things like that cause bad mouth ulcers. another thing, if you do chewing tobacco, it caues white spots on the tongue and cheek of your mouth which in time could cause mouth cancer...

STEP 1: CONTACT YOUR DOCTOR, STAT!

Answer 5
